Billboard Placement Fail April 23, 2009

Posted by Marta | Permalink | Comments ( 10 ) | TrackBack

Check out these amazing billboards that went up right next to each other—I bet McDonald's wasn't too thrilled.


Don't you just love it? How many people do you think will reconsider eating an Egg McMuffin after seeing these billboards?

The thing is, there are so many reasons to stop eating eggs. Here are just a few:
  • On egg factory farms, hens are kept in "battery cages", which are roughly 18 by 20 inches and hold five to 11 hens for their entire lives.
  • Male chicks are considered worthless to the egg industry, so every year millions are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown into high-speed grinders while they are still alive.
  • After two years, an egg-laying hen is considered "spent"—and guess what happens to her? Yup, she's shipped to slaughter—to be used for things like chicken noodle soup.
  • There are so many great egg alternatives! You can use applesauce, tofu, or bananas instead of eggs when you bake—tastier and cholesterol-free! And tofu scramble or tofu quiche? Delish!
What do you think of the juxtaposing billboards? Do you think it will make pro-lifers reconsider eating eggs?

Epic fail.
Yet amazing at the same time.
Now the pro-lifer argument is interesting and I've never heard it before. . . should lead to some fun talks i know that much.

The sad thing is that some people won't see the connection - they've been too 'programmed' to see chicken eggs as food and not as babies!

LOL!!!! How funny! i though thought the same thing.... Our society has become a "little slower" and has been "'programmed' to see chicken eggs as food and not as babies"! :O( But we can only hope for the best and try to reach out to others and show them the truth!
